The xperia compact series is an amazing line of phones, but also super fragile. I've destroyed two. both from "waist height" drops. Also, I couldn't find an otter box or other sufficiently protective case for it.

The touch screen is built in such a way that any small crack and half the screen or more stops accepting touch.

I drop my Z3 Compact all the time and it does just fine, you just need to protect your investment with a case. Incipio's case works well for me.

you want the Incipio case for it. Best I've found, works great. I use the charging dock @ work, which requires taking the case on/off a couple times a day. I can attest to it not falling apart from use.
